Sony X80K/X80CK vs LG QNED80 2023

The LG QNED80 2023 and the Sony X80K/X80CK are similar TVs, but the LG has the edge over the Sony in most aspects. They both have equally terrible contrast, but the LG is a bit brighter in HDR and SDR, and has better black uniformity than the Sony, so the LG looks better in dark and bright rooms. They trade blows when it comes to image processing, as the Sony has better sharpness processing when upscaling and less banding in HDR color gradients, while the LG has much better low-quality content smoothing. The LG is, however, much better for gamers, as it has a slightly faster response time to go with its 4k @ 120Hz capabilities, with a matching VRR range.
